Anniversary Week: Giveaway #1

To be eligible for the giveaway, leave me a comment and tell me the name of a song or two (or ten) that you could listen to over and over and over and never get tired of hearing, OR what songs/albums you would buy with a little extra iTunes money.

Me? I would buy Chris Tomlin's Christmas album(because I love Chris Tomlin andbecauseI started listening to Christmas music in September). Or perhaps this soundtrack(because I love it and my cassette tape has completely disintegrated). Or some Coldplay (because my son thinks they're awesome and I like them too). Or anything by Nichole Nordeman. Right now I have this song and this song of hers (go listen to them both!) on repeat on my iPod. (I'm a huge Nichole Nordeman fan.)

If you're wondering if you have to have an iPod to win an iTunes card--you don't! You can use it to download music to your computer and listen to it from there...or burn your downloads to a cd. Just wanted to be clarify that for all you non-techy people. Smile.

Now it's your turn. I'm all ears.

The fine print: Giveaway will close at 10pm on Saturday, October 31. Winners will be chosen at random and posted on Sunday, November 1. Contest is open to US and international residents. You don't have to have a blog to enter, but you must leave a way to be contacted should you win.

I so love Christmas music too and have been checking to see when they start playing it on the radio. Every year it's earlier and earlier! I think I would buy Travis Cottrell. I am going to see Beth Moore 11/6 and he will be there with her. cannot.wait!!

Songs I have I listen to over and over are Stained Glass Masquerade (Casitng Crowns), Free to Be Me (Francesca Battistelli?), Gives You Hell(All American Rejects), & Fearless(Taylor Swift). Ones I want so I can hear then often are By Your Side (10th Ave North), Big Green Tractor(Jason Aldean), In Color(Jamey Johnson), & Voice of Truth(Casting Crowns). I would love the new Casting Crowns album or the Zac Brown Band album.

hey, mer! I could listen currently to Third Day's Love Song until my ears bleed. Can also do hymns on a continuous loop- Amazing Grace, Come Thou Fount, and of course the best Christmas song, O Holy Night. I have several others that I listen to all the time, but these are my deserted island pics :)

I'm an iTunes addict. I love finding new music. Last week I started listening to Taylor Swift and I love her music! I've also been wanting some new Christmas music. It's that time of year when Christmas music is all I want to listen to. I love to keep it playing all day in the house.

Hey Mer~Great giveaway! I love iTunes cards. I'm like a kid in a candy store. LOL So much to choose from.........wow!

I could listen to James Taylor and Fleetwood Mac all day, every day. I'm old school! LOL I also love me some Christmas music. We have a radio station that plays holiday music non-stop from Thanksgiving night till Christmas night. I love it!

I am going to check out your recommendations too. I love to try new music.

well right now the newest Jonas Brothers cd gets the most play on my Ipod, but that is because Ben usually has it in his posession!!

As for me, I as still in love w/ God of this City by Chris Tomlin and Beauty and At the Foot of the Cross off of His Passiion. however I would probably buy some ABBA if I won. I've been wanting some good dance music lately.

First of all, I have to say that the Stealing Home soundtrack is one of my favorites and I am amazed that my cassette tape has not yet met the same fate as yours. I have had it since college and ahem, that was a little while ago. Ahem.

Now, to answer your question, I would choose either some Casting Crowns or Chris Tomlin. I also like the song Lay 'Em Down by Need to Breathe.

Happy Anniversary! iTunes is one of my favorites. I would love to get some new worship music. Or some new music for my 14 month son. Or even some new Christmas music or some Christmas music that is old that I don't have on CD form. Love the Blog...I found it from A Familiar Path. I do find the new colors a little hard to read though ;)

OK, I'm going to be one of those weird ones who doesn't have a favorite song! First off I forget the title and artist in a blink of an eye. That's not good! I'll say things like, "You know, the song...it's by....hmmmm, it's called....hmmmmm, well, I can't remember!" BUT when it comes to Christmas music I LOVE Bing Crosby. Always have; always will! :)

Happy anniversary, Mer! I love your blog and think about you and your words more than you'll ever know!

Currently I am listening to Francesca Battistelli, Mercy Me and Chris Tomlin. I am also a big Christmas music fan so I am looking forward to Chris' new CD. But I would probably download Steven Curtis Chapman's new CD (Beauty will Rise)which drops November 3rd. I have been a SCC fan since 1988, so i can not wait to hear his new stuff. What a fun giveaway - very sweet of you.

I am so out of touch with music that most of the people mentioned in the other comments I have never heard of.I have jotted down the names and will be checking them out.

My favorite artist at this time is Josh Groban. I don't know if he has a Christmas album or not, he didn't last year, but if he does that is what I am getting. His voice touches my soul, even when the lyrics are in another language.As for an all time favorite I would have to say Neal Diamond.So there you have it.

I would buy the new Kutless album It is Well. I love their song That's what Faith Can Do. I have already priced the album 9.99 it would be just enough :)Love you and I am so excited about your kids being baptized!!!Joan Crowder

When the movie the Passion came out my mother-in-law gave me a CD called His Passion: A Worshipful Journey to the Resurrection. I don't have it on my shuffle, but I've been listening to it almost every day. It's SO peaceful, and the girls love to dance to it. My favorite song is Lord Have Mercy, but all of them are really good.

I just found out that Chris Tomlin has a Christmas CD so that would definitely be my "extra spendin' money pick," too!!
